Surgeons have accused AHPRA of failing to properly investigate complaints against cosmetic surgeons, in the wake of fresh allegations from patients, including claims that nurses have been performing liposuctions at some clinics.

Another expose, aired on 60 Minutes on Sunday night, also alleged cosmetic procedures, including breast enhancement surgery, were being performed in side-rooms and offices.
